I didn't mean to spark a Holy War!

I have run the recent server versions of Ubuntu (like 22.04) on 10 year old systems, add memory and they run well.
Older computers do not mandate old operating systems (unless we're talking about Windows lol)

I am sure Air gapped / VPN system won't be cheap and old

All kidding aside, with such a discrepancy between recommended support (PHP5) and current releases it sounds like a official docker image would really make installs easier.

And in fact putting the install inside a container provides some additional isolation...

Well I started looking at the diffs between my version and the update files and then I tried the obvious and downloaded a fresh 2.4.6 unziped it and compared against my files

No changes... I guess all my updates were included in the 2.4.6 release (actually I had a fa23 directory, so maybe in 2.3...)

Whew this will be easy

Is there an official docker image?

I run almost everything I can in dockers for portability

from http://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/Pages/sales_tax.aspx

There are 22 counties in Florida, so I only have 22 different sales tax zones that I need to worry about.

Sales tax is ONLY calculated on a COUNTY basis.

I think you like to make things overly complex.

I will be coming out with a new version that makes sure the Short Name of a debtor_master record is unique and the Branch Name of a custome_branch is also unique for osC imports

Tom

Yeah, ok.

COnsider these facts:

1 - It does not appear that very many people would are using the osc_orders addon
2 - osCommerce is pretty old, so anyone having $100k in sales would likely not be using it

A taco stand is not likely to use osC, osC is a web store, having 200 transactions within a 10 mile radius of a given *remote* location is a long shot

I pay all the sales tax I am bound to pay in Florida, as a PERSON I can not be required to follow all the tax laws of all 50 states, it is an unnecessary burden upon me.

There is a huge difference between me and Wayfair and most people using osCommerce (or any Free e-commerce solution) are likely not big enough to be included.

I wonder what they are smoking on Colorado to think they can enforce sales tax laws like that on individuals. (you said all Deliveries)

Tom

Good point, I will have append a unique id to the short name (maybe osc customers_id)

I have the tax rates just fine, the tax rate is based upon the delivery address, which is what the Branches identify.

In osc I have about 22 tax rates for Florida, one for each county - which is the way osc was designed.

I get a notice from the state of Florida (along with my filing forms) with the tax rate changes... change in osc and change in FA poof all done

Tom

I am using it and will likely keep using it on my own site mostly because I don't want to deal with porting everything into a new program/db

I have been updating the osc_orders module to better map osc customers to FA debtor_masters

Is there a way an addon can get notified of db transactions?

delete debtor_master record (to delete mapping to osc cID)
maybe order dispatch to enter comments in osc orders history and maybe email customer.

Tom

Are you suggesting adding an account number to the debtors_master table?

If so, I strongly AGREE!

I get 99% of my sales orders from web orders that I import from my osCommerce site

Can we add that in FA2.5?

Is there a projected release date for FA2.5?
